Available Now!! Say You Love Me by Jami Rogers

 

Say You Love Me by Jami Rogers is now live!

One offer from Dutton Richford is all it takes to land me in a deal with the enemy.

For a man who I've spent most of my life despising (and I assumed it went both ways), he knew exactly what to say to convince me to help him. 

You see, he wants his father to choose him as the next owner of Lovers Lodge, the destination venue our small town is most known for, and I want to finally own my own business and expand it. 

We both have obstacles that are keeping us from getting what we want, and somehow, teaming up makes the most sense. 

It doesn’t take long for me to learn that I never really knew the man who has managed to steal my attention in just a few short weeks. The man who is much more observant and kinder than I expected him to be. Don’t even get me started on his bright green eyes, his sculpted body, and the dimple in his left cheek when he smiles. Which is rare, by the way, but he’s starting to do it more and more often with me. 

The way my heart pounds and my body heats when he’s near me, looks at me, touches me, or speaks to me is something I’m beginning to crave.

It makes hating him that much harder. 

And that’s a problem, because what’s a girl supposed to do when a harmless deal turns into something more with a man who has always been forbidden?

Book Blitz for Deceptive Inheritance by Jennifer Anne Davis with a GIVEAWAY

 

Deceptive Inheritance
Jennifer Anne Davis
(Remnants of the Lost, #1)
Publication date: June 9th 2026
Genres: New Adult, Paranormal, Romance

Laney Lake transfers to Stonemore University with a plan: two years of freedom before real life drags her back home. After a lifetime of overprotective parents and careful rules, she’s determined to finally live by making friends, saying yes more often, and experiencing the things she’s always been told to avoid.

Then Rowan Ward notices her.

To the rest of campus, he’s the rugby captain. He’s charming, confident, and impossible to miss. To himself, he’s a werewolf barely maintaining control. Rowan is the next alpha, bound to a future already chosen for him. His girlfriend is perfect on paper. She’s from a powerful bloodline, unquestioned loyalty, and the one his father expects him to marry. It should be enough.

It isn’t.

Laney pulls at him in a way nothing ever has, stripping control down to instinct and want. He knows he should stay away. Instead, he watches her. Circles her. Fights urges that feel older than reason.

Laney doesn’t know what he’s hiding. She only knows that when he’s near, her body wakes up and she’s warm, restless, and painfully aware of how badly she wants him to touch her. As Laney leans into her stolen freedom and Rowan teeters on the edge of breaking every rule he’s sworn to follow, old laws begin to strain. Because Laney isn’t ordinary. And if Rowan’s world discovers why she matters, choosing her could cost him everything.

She wanted two years of fun.
He was never supposed to want her.
But some instincts don’t care about rules.
And some sparks are born to burn.

EXCERPT:

I opened the door, got out, walked around the front of the car, and stood there staring at the empty field before me.

Then I fell to my knees and screamed. It seemed as if something were clawing inside me, begging to be set free. That only frightened me even more.

“What’s going on?” Sarah asked, coming to my side and wrapping her arm around my shoulders. “You’re scaring me.”

Tears streamed down my face. It took me a minute before I could answer. “That makes two of us. I have no idea what’s going on. I don’t know what I am. My own parents are lying to me.” I’d never been so afraid in all my life.

“What are we going to do?” Sarah asked.

I loved that there was a we in this. It made me feel less alone. “Right now, we’re not going to do anything. We’re still investigating because we don’t have enough information to know how to move forward.”

“Are you going to talk to your mom?”

“Eventually. But not yet. I don’t want either of my parents to know I suspect something.”

“Okay.” Sarah stood and pulled me to my feet.

And then I remembered what Adan had asked about whether my parents were my biological parents. “First, I need to see who I’m living with.”

“This is seriously like something out of a movie,” Sarah said. “Like this is insane.”

I happened to agree with her. It all seemed so surreal, that I was having trouble believing any of it myself. “I’m going to need you to be quiet about it.” We got back in the car. “Don’t talk to anyone about this. Promise me.”

“I promise I won’t say anything.”

I pulled back onto the street and started driving toward my house, wondering who and what I was.

Audiobook Review for The Unwilling Bride by L. Steele

 The Hamiltons #1

The Unwilling Bride by L. Steele, Shane East (Narrator), Evelyn Rose (Narrator) 

Published:  June 2, 2026 by L. Steele

Genre:  Romance, Marriage of Convenience, Contemporary Romance

Taken from Goodreads:  He’s my best friend’s brother. My billionaire boss. And now… my fake husband

I walked into his restaurant needing a paycheck.
Now I’m his fake wife.
And if I’m not careful, I might just fall for the man I hate.

James Hamilton is grumpy. Emotionally unavailable. Impossible to reach.
He’s also my best friend’s brother.
The man who broke my heart without even trying.
Now he’s a world-famous chef. Well known for his brilliance.

Working for him is my chance at the career of my dreams.
But when he calls me out in front of his entire staff.
I decide to leave.
But James stops me with an offer I never saw coming.
A marriage of convenience to secure the future of his culinary empire.

In return, he will pay off my debts and help my family.
I should refuse.
Instead, I say yes.

His rules are simple.
This is a contract.
There will be no feelings.
No expectations.
No future.

I agree to keep things strictly professional.
But the longer I share his home and answer to the title of his wife, the harder it is to pretend this is just business.

And when he lets me see the man behind the reputation,
I start to wonder if this fake marriage is the most real thing I have ever known...

My Thoughts: 🌶️🌶️🌶️🌶️🌶️   The Unwilling Bride is not for the faint of heart or those who get put off by spice.  L. Steele, the author, wrote a book that did not leave much to the imagination.   She played it all out and it was so good. 

James is all business.  In his kitchen, in his bed, and in his life.  There is no room to change his mind, everyone should just fall into line.   Until Harper walked into his restaurant reminding him that there could be more to life than just working. 

I listened to this book and the narrators are perfect.   The British accents were just the right touch to bring this book and the characters to life.   The growl of James’ voice and the defiance of Harper’s voice was definite as I listened to this story.   I know that there were times I was blushing, but never did I consider not continuing the book.   I was invested in their relationship.   There was hope that Harper would show him how to truly live.

And the more time I spend with him, the easier it becomes to respect that boundary—especially as he starts to see the real me behind my camera-ready smile.

Audiobook Review for Just Playing for Keeps by Lauren Blakely

 

Hockey Ever After #2

Just Playing for Keeps by Lauren Blakely

Published:  June 3, 2026

Genre:  Fake Dating, Sports Romance, Hockey Romance

Taken from Goodreads: A grumpy/sunshine fake dating hockey romance from #1 NYT Bestseller Lauren Blakely!

Ever hear the story about the dating coach who got dumped on the hockey arena’s jumbotron?

Everyone did. But I lived it. Including the moment when the team’s broody, tattooed winger Lake Axelrod swooped in on skates to rescue me from public humiliation.

Even more surprising? When the famously grumpy (and ridiculously sexy) hockey star insists on being my fake boyfriend for my sister’s high-profile wedding.

It’s the perfect sweet revenge plan since my ex is the best man. Bonus – I might even salvage my professional reputation.

We need rules though.

1. To pull this off, everyone from his teammates to my boss has to believe we’re a real couple.

2. That means swoony touches and knee-weakening kisses are required.

3. When it ends, we walk away.

But the intensity in Lake’s eyes after every post-game kiss makes me wonder if he’s pretending. With each whispered secret, the line between fake and real bends. Until it shatters one night in a hotel room.

Soon, he isn’t just playing the protective boyfriend—he’s the only one who truly sees me.

If I’m not careful, I’m going to break the most important rule of all: don’t fall for your fake date.

This is Lake and Remy's romance. Tropes include: grumpy/sunshine hockey romance, fake dating, workplace romance, best friend's brother, obsessed hero

 

My Thoughts:  Oh this book, I listened to it.  The people I work with think I am losing my mind.  They heard me laughing, saw me blushing, and heard me sighing.   This book had me finding time to listen when I should have been doing something else but I just needed one more chapter, which lead to 2 or 3 more chapters. 

Hockey romance is my jam and Lauren Blakely knows how to write it.  Then she picked out the best full-cast of narrators and the book came to life for me.  Lake and Remy are wonderful characters, they fake date with the best of the world.   I love the twists and turns, the cute romance, and the way Lake goes above and beyond to show his true feelings.

Book Review for The Queen's Coronation by Jennifer Ryan

 

The Queen's Coronation by Jennifer Ryan

Published:  June 2, 2026 by Ballantine Books

Genre:  Historical Fiction, Women’s History, British History

Taken from Goodreads:  As a young Queen Elizabeth II prepares to take the throne, three women in her employ will discover where they belong in a rapidly changing world in this heartwarming novel from the bestselling author of The Chilbury Ladies' Choir.

London, 1953. Buckingham Palace and the many employees vital to the smooth running of the monarchy find themselves in bedlam as the Queen's coronation quickly approaches.

Caroline Brimstone, assistant dresser to the queen, watches the queen finding the strength to rule—a woman taking charge of her future. Meanwhile, Caroline’s life is worn thin by her gambler husband, and she is barely holding on as every penny she earns seems to run out the door. When a trip to Balmoral brings her face-to-face with the man she once loved, she finds herself at a crossroads between what her life is and what her life could be. Can she, like the queen, find the strength to define her own future?

Lucy Jones is a junior wardrobe assistant who positively radiates life—she's young, idealistic, and eager to become a famous singer. So when a handsome, wealthy man at the palace promises to help her on her way to stardom, she's over the moon to have such a supportive husband-to-be. And if he's asking some things of her that she's not quite sure about, isn't that just part of the glamorous life?

Miranda Miller has come over from America just in time to help with preparations as a temporary secretary in the palace. The job is a perfect way to gather information for the article she's writing about the coronation for a magazine back in New York; the article that will keep her boss from firing her because of her gender.

But as all three women discover, just because a woman will soon be sitting upon the throne, it doesn't mean that society will change overnight—and if they want to carve places for themselves in this world, they'll have to do it together.

 

My Thoughts:  I love the Royal Family, getting glimpses into their lives is one of my favorite things to read about.   The Queen’s Coronation is a great look at Queen Elizabeth’s coronation and how her life changed.   I also enjoyed seeing how the staff of the Royal Family were put to work, how they formed families and relationships, how much their lives were overtaken by the Royal Family.   

This is the story of three women who all are working for Queen Elizabeth during her coronation.  Each has their own story to tell but together they have many things in common.  They are each dealing with personal lives that are not easy or what they pictured for themselves.   They each have their own losses and are struggling with working through them.  I enjoyed how much they came together with their love and support for each other.   Even when they did not agree with each other, they stayed true to their friendships.   

The Queen’s Coronation is a beautiful story that features a Queen that will change the future.  The three women who share their story, help that Queen see that the future is hers while also taking hold of their own futures.

Book Blitz for A Jewel of a Crime: A Venus Bixby Mystery by Valerie Taylor with a GIVEAWAY

 

A Jewel of a Crime: A Venus Bixby Mystery
Valerie Taylor
(Venus Bixby Mystery, #3)
Publication date: June 2nd 2026
Genres: Adult, Cozy Mystery

Venus Bixby is ready for a fresh start. With green streaks in her hair and “Rock the Shamrock” polish on her nails, she’s sold her dance studio and set her sights on a glamorous second act: traveling the world to recover stolen art. But before she can book her first flight, she stumbles over the new studio owner’s dead body behind a drawn curtain.

In a town like Chatham Crossing, secrets don’t stay buried and gossip travels faster than the morning coffee line. Suddenly Venus is a suspect in a very public investigation. As she scrambles to clear her name, she uncovers a troubling secret from her late husband’s past: he purchased an emerald ring she’s never seen—and now it’s missing.

When a string of burglaries rattles the town, Venus begins to suspect the murder and the stolen emerald are connected. With rumors swirling, neighbors whispering, and her passport dreams slipping, she’ll need sharp instincts—and a dash of Irish luck—to catch the real culprit.

A Jewel of a Crime is a sparkling cozy mystery filled with small-town charm, amateur sleuthing, loyal cats, and twists that keep the pages turning. Includes cookie recipes and a nostalgic oldies playlist.

EXCERPT:

“Where do you think Margo is?”

Rather than barge uninvited into the classroom looking for her, Gabby and I bided our time and hung out in the lobby. I shifted from one foot to the other while Gabby perused the business cards pinned to a brand-new combination whiteboard and corkboard.

“When I come back with that vase, I’ll bring a few business cards to tack up here.”

“Great idea!” I rifled through my purse until I found a couple of cards promoting Oldies & Goodies and Cats & Their Cradle. I affixed them to the cork and smiled. Part of me wondered whether Sam would take them down before anyone ever saw them.

Still no Margo. Did she not hear the bell when we entered a few minutes ago? Maybe not over Ol’ Blue Eyes. I considered writing a message on the whiteboard. I picked through the pens in the Tremont Regency Hotel mug on the desk, but there didn’t appear to be any of those dry-erase markers.

“Where could she be?” Gabby asked.

“Probably in the back. Should we check?”

I gently opened the glass door to the main classroom. A rush of crisp air reminded me how we’d kept the temperature in the low sixties so the students wouldn’t get overheated. The smell of fresh-cut grass suddenly wafted over me. My nose recognized dance floor wax, forcing me to stifle a sneeze.

The same song we heard when we walked into the lobby still played. Must be on a continuous loop. I listened closely. Ah, Frank was singing “Witchcraft.” An appropriate theme for the day.

The walls were painted a creamy shade of white. Floor-to-ceiling mirrors lined one wall and a row of barres ran parallel to the floor. The mirrors reflected framed images on the opposite wall. I turned to examine them up close. I walked along the wall, studying and touching each gently. Definitely Sam and Margo in their younger years.

This egotistical display was so unlike the studio Paul, and then I, owned. Our walls were proudly adorned with photographs of the young dancers who graced our ballroom.

Where are those pictures? Why didn’t they ask if I wanted them? What else did they keep from me?

“Margo?” I called.

Silence.

At the far end of the room, there was a royal purple floor-to-ceiling drape pulled closed across the width of the ballroom. As I walked toward it, I waved toward Gabby. “I’m gonna check back here.”

I noticed a universal restroom to my right. I motioned to Gabby. “You check in there.”

Then I drew back the curtain. “Never mind. Found her!” I cried out.

Author Bio:

Valerie Taylor lives in Connecticut and considers herself a typical "average Jane." She might remind you of the reclusive neighbor who fancies herself a novelist. Unlike many of her peers whom she admires, she does NOT have a degree in literature. But she is the award-winning author of the romantic comedy trilogy: WHAT'S NOT SAID, WHAT'S NOT TRUE, and WHAT'S NOT LOST. The roots of those three novels, as well as the books in the Venus Bixby Mystery series—A WHALE OF A MURDER and SWITCHED AT DEATH and A JEWEL OF A CRIME—most likely took hold during her early years watching Carol Burnett, Jack Benny, Red Skelton, and The Twilight Zone. Her love of oldies music stems from hours listening and dancing to Elvis Presley and The Beatles, and being in the Bobby Darin fan club.

Audiobook Review for My Whiskey Redemption: Birdie Whiskey by Melissa Foster

 

My Whiskey Redemption: Birdie Whiskey by Melissa Foster

The Whiskeys: Dark Knights at Redemption Ranch, Book 6

Taken from Audible: Birdie Whiskey is ready for love, but the man who knocks her off her feet is the last man her family would ever accept. Come along for the emotional ride as the Whiskeys’ belief in second chances is put to the test, and Birdie faces her toughest decision yet—stay loyal to her family or fight for the man she loves.

From New York Times bestselling author Melissa Foster comes The Whiskeys: Dark Knights at Redemption Ranch, a small-town, big-family series of standalone romance novels featuring fiercely loyal, insanely sexy bikers who give horses—and people—a second chance. Buckle up for a wild ride in Hope Valley, Colorado, as these big-hearted badasses and their sassy sisters wrangle in their forever loves. No cliffhangers, no cheating, and always a happily ever after.

Audiobook Review:  Listening to My Whiskey Redemption was amazing.   I had already met most of the characters and to hear their voices, hearing their emotions… the characters that I felt I knew just came to life and because my friends.   Audiobooks are my go-to work listening but this one had me taking extra walks, doing extra chores, and finding other times that I can listen just a little more. 

eBook Review:  Truly wonderful Melissa Foster.  Characters that are real with life problems.   A storyline full of love, heat, friends and family.  A HEA ending that has no cliffhanger.   I look forward to every book Melissa writes knowing that it is a chance to catch up with past characters, meet new ones, and read a book that I will not be able to put down. 

This book is Birdie Whiskey’s story.  She wants to meet her soul mate so badly and knows that Redemption Ranch is the place to do it.   Little does she know what meeting that soul mate really means for her.   She meets Crew, hooks up, and her life changes forever. 

Birdie is a character that I met in past books and I knew when it was time for her story it would be epic.   I was not disappointed.  She found that person that encouraged her uniqueness, joined her in adventures, and never tried to slow her down.    He encouraged, supported, and loved everything about her.   

My Whiskey Redemption is a story of second chances, making amends, true love, embracing uniqueness, and happily ever afters.

Thank you to the author for a copy of the book in exchange for my honest review.

Release Blitz for Redline by Amber Vant

 

Redline by Amber Vant is now live!

Rule one: don't get involved with Formula One drivers.
Rule two: definitely don't live with one.

Carter Hayes knows exactly what Formula One destroys.
She watched it take everything from her family once before, which is why moving onto the Valerio estate is supposed to be temporary. A deal. Nothing more. Her father gets a second chance as Dominic Valerio's new head coach, and in return, Carter's dream university is paid for. All she has to do is keep her head down, finish school, and stay far away from racing drama.

Dominic ruins that plan immediately.

He didn't want her father as his coach.
He doesn't want strangers in his home.
And he definitely doesn't want a girl who sees through him faster than anyone ever has.

What starts as irritation turns into rivalry.
Rivalry turns into tension.
And tension becomes impossible to escape when they're living only steps apart.

Because the closer Carter gets to Dominic's world, the more she realizes the real danger isn't Formula One.
It's crossing a line neither of them can come back from.
Some limits exist for a reason.
Others are meant to be pushed past the redline.
